Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for an infant who has heart failure and vomited following administration of digoxin. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Administer the next dose as prescribed. Digoxin is a medication used to treat heart failure, and vomiting after administration does not necessarily indicate the need to withhold the next dose. The nurse should assess the infant's condition, ensuring no signs of toxicity, and if the infant is stable, the next dose should be given as prescribed to maintain therapeutic levels.

A: Giving an antiemetic is not the priority in this situation as vomiting once does not automatically warrant antiemetic administration.
B: Increasing fluid intake may be helpful in some cases but does not address the immediate need for the next dose of digoxin.
C: Mixing the medication with formula is not indicated as the issue here is the vomiting post-administration of digoxin.
E, F, G: No further information provided.

Summary: Administering the next dose as prescribed is the correct action to maintain therapeutic levels of digoxin. Other choices do not address the immediate need or potential
